Irish Fest

Milwaukee may be better known for its German heritage, but the
city hosts the largest celebration of Celtic culture in the country. One of Milwaukee’s most vibrant
ethnic festivals, Irish Fest reliably draws some of the most popular Celtic and
Celtic-rock bands from around the world. Each year Irish Fest patrons consume
more than 10,000 pounds of corned beef, much of it in the form of Reuben rolls:
crispy egg rolls brimming with corned beef, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese and
served with zesty mustard. They’re perhaps the most perfect snack ever created
by a culture that’s mastered good pub food.
